I don't know FR well enough to say exactly what you should do but ... Didn't you say that a greater goddess was going to prevent the other gods from seeing what happened? If the gods don't know what happened, how are the PCs going to find out? The only way they could know is if they were there...

In order to close 4e they would have to be so different from 3/3.5 that it would hardly be recognizable as DnD. The magic system (and tons of variants), majority of spells, majority of monsters, AC system, base 20 rolling system, skills system, feat system, class system, level-based system, etc...

Amazon Orders We let WW take care of distribution. We honestly don't know what the status of the Amazon orders might be. Clark as said that the Boxed Set is not going through the "book trade" because we simply can't risk the return of damaged boxes. An advance order through your FLGS, an...

Well, with our production costs, we'd prefer to sell them out. Based on pre-orders we aren't sold out, but we are hoping that changes. If that happens we can probably submit the electronic version or something like that. When you see the boxed set, you'll know we spared no expense. It is a...

There are a variety of things you can do that aren't competitive. Drawing, coloring, imagination-based games, etc. These are all appropriate for 2 1/2 year olds. In general, board games of all sorts have winners and losers. Sorry, that is the way they are designed. The whole point of games like...

I don't want to discourage you, you definitely have enough money to do this. The question is, how much of it do you want to lose? You are right about one thing, distribution/marketing is a major hurdle that would require a major expense of time and money. It is the one main thing that has me...

Well, You should still have my email and can contact me off-post for more information, but a few general comments. "I want to maximize what little profit there is." Um, how much is your time worth. Being "only an author" on a book might not make as much as being both the publisher and the...

My choices after the core rulebooks: Wilderlands Boxed Set (yeah I am biased ... years of material there) CSIO (okay, really biased) ToH Probably some books with tables 'n such. Mother of all Encounter Tables and/or Toolbox. Pretty much all I'd need. Patrick

Well, from 3e I nominate ... The Standing Stone People have said good things about this one in the past but it is terrible. The only way a DM can run a reasonably skilled party through this and get to the final "surprise" at the end is to cheat. (won't give spoilers here) If you have a...

Well, the stinky gamer thing isn't a myth, but I am not sure it is as prevalent as people make it out to be. When you have literally thousands of people circulating through the same area you are going to get a whiff of a fe that, well, don't smell pretty. As far as saying anything about it, I...

I know of two groups that I email material to for playtesting. One of the groups uses strict 25 point buy for their characters, the other group varies between 28 and 32 point buy and rolling 4d6 drop the lowest. I am pretty lucky to have them because my home group suffers rather regular changes...

Shadowslayer, We have quite a bit of information posted on our boards and we have some free download material to help you make your decision. The Necromancer Games boards are here: http://p096.ezboard.com/bnecromancergames Scroll down to the Judge's Guild section for the Wilderlands Boxed Set...

The Wilderlands Boxed Set should be available in September (I thinkthe date is Sept. 23, but I am not positive). I don't know about FD's Counter Collection. If it is "digital" I would try DTRPG, it might be up already. Patrick (one of those Necromancer Games guys)

Well, define "easy" ... It is a great book, at least what I have read over so far, and is basically a DnD oriented book. It has all the info needed for running it with C&C but that is your question/problem I suppose. It does not have d20 stat blocks for running it with a d20 based system such...

Um, techinally "formal attire" means black-tie, ie. tuxedos for men, gowns for women, etc. "Semi-formal" basically means (or used to mean) suit and/or coat and tie. "Business Casual" used to mean that you didn't need to wear a coat, but a shirt and tie were still expected. Nowdays, "business...

Well, seeing as he isn't back I'll risk the demon lord's wrath and give you the answer. We will have copies at GenCon I don't know how many copies though. If you want to pick up at the con I would suggest getting it Thursday. The official release date is sometime in September. Patrick

Missed the other votes so don't know if I am eligible. here are my choices: 4rd Round 1. Hal 9000-Hard choice, but Hal has no emotion, nothing is scarier than something that just simply doesn't have any emotional investment at all. 2. Darth Vader- force choke and out the airlock baby, at...

The Troll Lords are great. The only time I have seen complaints about customer serice/answering the phone/email bit is when they have been out of town. They have so much stuff to take to a convention that they need to drive a truck, this can mean extra days out of town around convention time. It...

First of all, it sold somewhere around 8.5-9 million copies in the first 24 hours between the UK, Canada, and the US. This is still an incredible block-buster, but it is certainly not 30 million copies in 24 hours. Second, the books are decent. I would not call them literature, but they are a...

As the lead author of the revision I'll try to answer a few questions for you. 1. There is no player's map. Sorry, the production expenses for maps these days are very, very high. I think we were working on a downloadable player's map. I honestly can't remember if that has been done or not. I'll...
